From the old comes the new – we are now pidoco°

Taking a closer look you’ll notice several changes on this website today and in the coming days. If you follow our blog, you’ll know why: We have got a new name!

More than 500 of our users voted with us and came to the same conclusion: pidoco.com is our new darling. Even several media channels already covered the result (Wirtschaftswoche, Deutsche-Startups).

The logo in the upper-left corner already changed. Bit by bit we’ll switch the complete website to adapt our new name – so don’t be surprised if you’ll find the old name at one or two spots while on most parts the new pidoco°-logo is already displayed.

As previously reported, we are looking for a new name. Together with the readers of Deutsche Startups we collected quite successfully proposals for our new name. In total 2,752 suggestions (see the Top 50). While many names have to be ruled out (due to different reasons), you can tell us which of our Top 5 you like most:

For each voting we are going to give 20 Cent to a charity project. The project that we are supporting is a new assembly hall for the SOS-Kinderdorf in Kigali, Rwanda.

Yesterday evening we had an exciting session at our local Usability Meetup. The topic was “remote usability testing”, which we divided into asynchronous and synchronous testing. The part of asynchronous testing was covered by Sabrina Mach from FeraLabs, who came from England to visit Berlin.

During the second part we explained synchronous remote usability testing. The setup is very simple, a moderator invites a test user via the web to a moderated usability test. We were able to demo for the first time our remote testing module, which allows for executing remote usability tests for pidoco° prototypes. Our development team did a great job during the past year to develop a system where the test user is invited by a simple email and just needs a browser, an internet connection, and a telephone. The moderator can watch the session live and later on replay the whole session for a detailed evaluation. The Remote Usability Tester will soon be available as closed beta. Watch this blog for further details.

After the presentations we moved on for some drinks with still a big group of people. It has been a pleasure to chat with all the people, especially with our guests from England. The next event will be Friday 17th when the 10th IA Cocktail Hour takes place. See you there.

Last week we added a new way of paying for pidoco°. You are now able to use your credit card in addition to paypal or invoice. For now we added Visa and Mastercard. In case you have a different credit card, please get in touch with us (contact at pidoco.com).

We didn’t change our pricing nor the 31 days of free trial. Feel free to register and create your own pidoco° prototype.
